Substituting exhaustible energy resources with renewable energies (RE) is a particular example of the ‘substitutability’ condition for sustainability and a key principle of the natural capital theory. This paper investigates the effects of RE incentive policies, as facilitators of ‘substitutability’, on the financial performance of 420 energy firms in OECD countries over 4 years (2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016). Findings reported using fixed effects panel‐data modelling reveal that most RE incentive policies deployed in OECD countries stimulate improved accounting‐based measures of financial performance. In addition, some incentive policies that are long‐term in nature appear value relevant. Overall, the paper documents that substituting RE for fossil fuels, incentivised through RE policies, stimulates improved financial performance of energy companies in OECD countries. The significance of these results is evident in the empirical support they lend to the effectiveness of RE incentive policies, progress of global energy transition and the natural capital inventory theory. Furthermore, the results could be of benefit to policymakers, energy firms and investors.","PeriodicalId":204209,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Energy Politics (Topic)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132800951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If historical prices are low and infrequently-changing, it becomes difficult to estimate price elasticities statistically, especially in the short-run. This paper extends on a previous analysis by incorporating more demand-reducing measures within a utility maximization framework for households. The framework is informed the physical equations that govern how electricity is consumed. The measures considered are: 1. independently adjusting the thermostat set-point across seasons, 2. turning off lights, and 3. switching off consumer electronics. We have calibrated the physical component for a dwelling in Saudi Arabia. Domestic electricity tariffs in the progressive pricing structure were partially raised in 2018. In addition to those raises, the response to other electricity pricing schemes is analyzed: time-of-use and real-time prices. We show that for a household with a low preference for electricity, the 2018 price increases do warrant adjustment in indoor temperature in the hot summer months and lower electricity use for consumer electronics. Since we adopt a dwelling in Saudi Arabia, the response measure that is most exercised is thermostat set-point adjustments. A subdued response is found for households that have adopted higher energy efficiency, or have high preference for electricity.","PeriodicalId":204209,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Energy Politics (Topic)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115910786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tangerås","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3302569","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3302569","url":null,"abstract":"In centralized markets, producers submit detailed cost data to the day-ahead market, and the market operator decides how much should be produced in each plant. This differs from decentralized markets that rely on self-commitment and where producers send less detailed cost information to the operator of the day-ahead market. Ideally centralized electricity markets would be more effective, as they consider more detailed information, such as start-up costs and no-load costs. On the other hand, the bidding format is rather simplified and does not allow producers to express all details in their costs. Moreover, due to uplift payments, producers have incentives to exaggerate their costs. As of today, US has centralized wholesale electricity markets, while most of Europe has decentralized wholesale electricity markets. The main problem with centralized markets in US is that they do not provide intra-day prices which can be used to continuously up-date the dispatch when the forecast for renewable output changes. Intra-day markets are more flexible and better adapted to deal with renewable power in decentralized markets. Iterative intra-day trading in a decentralized market can also be used to sort out coordination problems related to non-convexities in the production. The downside of this is that increased possibilities to coordinate increase the risk of getting collusive outcomes. Decentralized day-ahead markets in Europe can mainly be improved by considering network constraints in more detail.","PeriodicalId":204209,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Energy Politics (Topic)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124557095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of photovoltaic (PV) technology is carbon neutral; however, the manufacturing of panels produces measurable carbon emissions. Recently, Canadian solar panel companies filed a complaint with the Canadian government claiming subsidized PV modules from China were being dumped into Canada and were threatening the domestic industry. In response, import duties were applied to imported Chinese solar equipment. Aside from the trade issues, this study seeks to examine if there is merit in addressing any carbon emission costs to importing from China as compared to manufacturing PV solar modules in Ontario. Using the CS6X-P PV module as a case study, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to evaluate environmental impacts from manufacturing on a “cradle to gate” basis. Two supply chain scenarios were compared to develop environmental and economic costs for PV modules. The carbon emission difference between the current supply chain involving imports of Chinese PV modules into Ontario, Canada and a hypothetical Ontario-based supply chain was calculated to determine a comparative carbon cost. LCA results for the CS6X-P show that when environmental impacts are translated into an economic cost, it is not significant enough to encourage a change in the current supply chain for Ontario-based manufacturing. This study challenges current policies of pricing carbon in Canada.","PeriodicalId":204209,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Energy Politics (Topic)","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115727566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
